Classical Mechanics problem:

See if you can prove the so-called virial theorem. This is a statement that relates the average kinetic energy of a stable system to the potential energy of the system. It applies when the force between two particles of the system has a corresponding potentual energy U of the form U = kr^n, where r is the separation of the particles and n is some real number. So, suppose a mass m moves in a circular orbit about the origin in the field of an attractive central force with potential energy U = kr^n. Show that the kinetic energy T of the particle is T = nU/2.

Classical Mechanics problem: Suppose you are on a perfectly spherical planet and measure the free-fall acceleration to be g = g0 at the North Pole. (This planet is not necessarily Earth!) At the equator, you measure g = λg0 (with 0 ≤ λ ≤ 1). Find g(θ), the free-fall acceleration at colatitude θ as a function of θ.

Write a short essay on externalities and the so-called Coase theorem. As part of your answer make sure that you discuss the circumstances under which private markets are most likely to come up with effective private solutions to the problem of externalities. In that context make sure to include at least one specific instance of a situation in which an effective market solution is feasible and also at least one example of a situation in which a private market solution...
